Paul Mitchell made his name in the Premier League with Spurs and could reportedly return to England with Arsenal after a spell at RB Leipzig.

Arsenal are looking to make Paul Mitchell their new director of football, according to Sky Sports.
It is no secret that The Gunners are scouring the market in an attempt to replace the departed recruitment chief Sven Mislintat but they were left frustrated in their pursuit of Monchi, who opted to return to Sevilla after an ill-fated two year spell with Roma.
And Sky are claiming that Arsenal have now turned their attention to Mitchell, a Salford-born transfer specialist who made his name at North London neighbours Tottenham Hotspur.
The 38-year-old spent three seasons at Tottenham, having worked alongside Mauricio Pochettino at Southampton too, and was instrumental to the signings of Dele Alli, Kieran Trippier and Toby Alderweireld amongst others.

Mitchell has added to his reputation since moving to Germany with RB Leipzig in 2017 and Sky adds that Julian Nagelsmann, who will take over the Bundesliga outfit next season, is eager to see the Englishman stay. But Arsenal are keen to lure Mitchell back to the capital while Chelsea and Manchester United are also circling.
It is no overstatement to suggest that Mitchel could be the most respected recruitment chief in football today.
